Choose Carefully

Choose carefully You can grab a moment And make it worthwhile If you wear a beautiful smile Holding on to graceful style. If you slow down the time Recognizing scent of vibes Love won't be far behind Cherishing eager desires. When you intently pause Hearing a celestial voice Listen to its amorous message Leading you to paradise. Soon you will arrive there Where dreams filled with joy Rise above towering high Inviting you to rejoice life. But you must choose carefully Between ephemeral and enduring For one may be instant pleasure And the other everlasting. December 27, 2017 HM: Brian's Choice D Contest

Love your message in this well written poem, Vijay. AT last, I found one that I had not read yet. It takes me a while, but I am sure there are many other oldies of yours I have not yet read!
